Rainey Dawn This is one of world's worst films ever made - or so some say but I have seen worse.. so much worse than 'Monster A Go Go'. This film is not great at all but it is entertaining but drab at the same time. This is not a film I would recommend to anyone although I found it kinda neat in a way. This is an 'ok' bad b-film - not good but certainly not the worst.The film reminds me of a fairly good home movie... as if some inspiring filmmakers and actors made it. It has it's moments of being fun and interesting but I will admit it is a bit dry.If you really want to watch a drab but kinda entertaining bad b-film then you might like 'Monster A Go Go' - otherwise you can easily pass on this flick because you won't miss anything by not watching it.3/10
gavin6942 A space capsule crash-lands, and the astronaut aboard disappears. Is there a connection between the missing man and the monster roaming the area? No bones about it, this is a terrible movie. Were it to be remade (heaven forbid) this might actually be alright, because the plot is not awful for a monster movie. But the execution! Oh, man! Poor editing, awful sound (many times conversations are hardly audible or are reverberating), nasty lighting that washes everything out (which is made worse by poor prints, no doubt). Widely considered one of the worst films ever made, it has earned that honor.What makes it interesting, though, is that despite being a piece of garbage, it was actually made by two great independent filmmakers -- H. G. Lewis and Bill Rebane, the godfather of the Wisconsin film industry. Perhaps even more interesting is a man named Rick Paul who acts in a small role. After this, he apparently stayed out of movies for twenty years before resurfacing in "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer" as a victim and the film's art director. Odd! (Though not that odd given the Chicago connection.) None of this makes up for it being a terrible movie, though. Watch it at your own risk.
montecellic Yes, it's a lousy movie. Yes, it's inept. Yes, it's boring. But there are two things I actually like about "Monster a Go-Go!" The first is the opening theme song. Forget the lyrics...this is the classic '60s garage band sound all the way. It gets things off to a lively start. Unfortunately, as soon as the script kicks in, things bog down. Way, way down.But if you're patient (or simply use the fast forward button), you'll find the movie's second asset around the half-way mark: a party where a gang of teeny-boppers dance the Twist. The story focuses on one of them...a bimbette who is dancing not with her boyfriend, but--behold! Scorchingly Hot Guy.Scorchingly Hot Guy is an excellent dancer, which he proves while gyrating with Bimbette. Meanwhile, Bimbette's boyfriend watches and gets jealous. Soon, he'll drag her away from Scorchingly Hot Guy.The scene ends and the movie plods along to its conclusion. We do not see Scorchingly Hot Guy again, although he is featured in the ending of MAGG's trailer, in footage that does not appear in the movie. For viewers with sharp eyes, this gives us an even bigger payoff than his appearance in the feature itself."Go, you monster, go!"
torgodoesntapprove Before viewing this movie, I was but a child in my meek understanding of the ways of nature, the world, and life itself. My outlook on the meaning of all things was changed forever after having viewed the abomination known as "Monster a-go go". I shall forever remember that day as the day I lost my faith in man and God. Oh, don't worry, he's out there, but wherever he is, He's laughing his head off at the gargantuan dump left on our doorstep that is "Monster a-go go".I bring great shame to my house and I in saying that I have seen this horror, without Mst3k, about a dozen times. My reasoning behind this oft suicidal act was that I believed that there must have been some deeper meaning behind it, Like that in 2001. I was young and foolish then, and had yet to understand that the world is not a happy place.If somebody asked me what I thought to be the worst film of all time, I would answer that it was "Manos: the hands of fate". The only reason why I think that Manos is a worse movie than this is that this is not a movie.I'll tell you what this is! This is a montage of random shots that Bill Rebane scraped of the soles of the shoes of of the likes as Coleman Francis and Ed Wood. This is a jumble of stock footage taken out of the film libraries under "Trash", and gargled in a toothless goat's mouth. This is was was left on the seat after Jabba the Hutt stood up to get a better view of the execution. This is what bad movies check under their beds for every single night. ETC, ETC.I won't get into detail about what horrors lie in random order in this movie, but to whoever watches this, lives, and understands what the scene with the woman whose car breaks down has to do with the rest of the film, I congratulate them, and wish them luck with whatever other mind-bending problems they may encounter.And now, a moment of silence to the inconceivable number of souls that have either passed away, or, more commonly, lost their minds during the films unfathomable "ending". And to those about to embark on "Monster a-go go", please include me in your will.
